Question

Provide a shorthand and a comprehensive phrasing of the legal issue or issues in each of the following situations.

b) Facts:Harry Franklin works for the XYZ Agency. In one of the agency’s personnel files is a notation that Paul Drake, another agency employee, was once arrested for fraud. Harry obtains this information from this file and tells his wife about it. (She also knows Paul.) Harry is unaware that Paul has told at least three other employees about his fraud arrest. Regulation:20(d). It shall be unlawful for any employee of the XYZ Agency to divulge confidential material in any file of the agency.

Explanation / Answer

It depends on whether or not a particular confidential information being divulged happens to be in the parameters of conflict or not. As long as the confidential or proprietary information is clearly defined by the organization. However these set of provisions does not involve a breach or a violation of the ethical code of conduct and it cannot be brought under the jurisdiction of an ethics commission as it does not pertain to a governmental ethical issue.
